First Astro shot with 350D

G'day I picked up the 350D today and decided to have a play even with the clouds and really bad sky.
Taken from about 4km from Brisbane city center ( lots of light pollution)

details are
unmodified 350D
C11 at F10 (2800 FL)
EQ6 ( not polar aligned about 8 degrees from pole)
unguided 1min 20sec, about as long as I could shoot without getting too much skyglow
Iso 800
shot in Raw mode converted to Jpeg no other processing done.
Heavly compressed from around 7mb

I can't remember if I took a dark frame with this shot?
Considering the conditions it didn't turn out too bad.
I can't wait to get this camera under a dark sky.
cheers
David.
